The surviving family members who are able to receive the death lump-sum payment are the spouse, children, parents, grandchildren, grandparents, or siblings of the person who died, who shared a livelihood with that person at the time of that person's death; provided, however, that the surviving family member who is able to receive the death lump-sum payment paid in a case falling under paragraph (3) of the preceding Article is the spouse of the person who died, who shared a livelihood with that person at the time of that person's death.
The order of the persons who are to receive the death lump-sum payment (excluding one prescribed in the proviso to the preceding paragraph; the same applies in the following paragraph) is in accordance with the order prescribed in the preceding paragraph.
When there are two or more surviving family members of the same order who are to receive the death lump-sum payment, a claim made by one of them is deemed to have been made by all of them for the entire amount, and payment made to one of them is deemed to have been made to all of them.
